It has been announced that Aladdin will hit Broadway Spring of 2014 after a run in Toronto. This isn’t the first time Aladdin has had the Live Musical treatment as it has a show in the parks and in Seattle.

But what does this announcement mean for the Hunchback and it coming to Broadway? This mean don’t except the show anytime before 2015. I for my part am disappointed that this mean a Broadway show of the Hunchback will be delayed even more but I’m not surprise that they would go for Aladdin over Hunchback. Aladdin was the more successful movie that spawned two additional movies, a TV series and in general made more money for the company. Plus an Aladdin production is more geared to the over-the-top spectacle that Broadway and Disney both love. Hunchback not so much. It’s spectacle comes from the sets and not so much the costume or the choreography.

I do hope that someday the show will come to Broadway after all it was very success in Germany so it’s not that far-fetched that they it could do well in New York.

Disney is releasing a blu-ray of The Hunchback of Notre Dame . It will be release March 12th 2013.

I’m not sure what features it will have but I can’t say I like the box art. Quasimodo gets lost in it and the gargoyles should not be in the foreground. Not sure why Disney is still forcing the gargoyles on the fans, most people hate them and love the other characters. But I never studied marketing.

A fun countdown to the release date ^^
